Nickelodeon Punta Cana! PT 1

This was our best family trip by far!

We booked this trip for our 10 year anniversary. We counted down the months and days! The kids were so excited! Who am I kidding, Mr M and I were even more excited! 

Waking up at 5am to go to the airport was so exciting. Baby M had no idea what was going on and loved every second of it.

Little k even got to meet the pilots! He told them he was finished SK and going to grade 1!  

The plane ride was good. iPads and candy for entertainment. Baby M got a little restless but napped a bit too so that helped! 

The bus to the hotel from the airport was about 30mins. 

When we arrived we were soo impressed with our room! Swim up pad suite!

Soo nice! They thought of everything here. The space was perfect. Fully stocked mini fridge with beer and pop and water and snacks! Oh and the room service. Amazing. 

 Our pool connected to the swim up bar and a snack bar too.  We would swim over for drink and food then swim back ha!

The first thing we did when we arrived was swim! Of course! When you open your sliding door to a pool! Little K said this was the best part of the trip haha. Second was the Nickelodeon aqua park! More on that soon! 

The resort was beautiful! 

Big infinity pool over looking the ocean. 

I have so much to talk about so I'll do it in parts! This is part 1! Part 2 coming soon haha.

Like how we got slimed! Yup! Little K pulled that lever to slime his family! 

weekend fun!

Today we headed out to Canada's wonderland! 

The kids love the wagon. It was a little chilly so it was perfect all cozy in there. 

The boys love the dinosaur walk. So of course that was the first place we headed to when we got there!

 We went on a bunch of ride. Baby M isn't afraid at all! And totally loved it! 

 We did a lot of walking! Which is great to now add this to our summer fun! 

Saturday was a rainy cold day so we went to swimming lessons then over to my grandparents house.

 

I don't know why I haven't figured out how to put videos on my blog :/ but Mr. K performed a piano song he learned with his teacher for us today. He was so cute. He knew it was a performance and wanted to wear his power ranger costume to perform. Ha! He cracks me up. 

 

The beginning of the school year I volunteered to make playdoh every couple of months. Tomorrow is the last for the school year! I totally perfected making playdoh. I use my kitchen aid mixer. 

2 cups of flour 

2 tbsp cream of tarter 

1/2 cup salt

2 tbsp of oil 

1 cup of boiling water with the food coloring in it. 

Mix it all up!

No filter! I used the neon food coloring!

I can't believe we are in the second week of May!!! I started getting organized for  our trip in June! Making sure we have summer clothes that fit! Haha. That goes for me too! 

Have a great Monday friends, I'm exhausted and need to get some zzzz's

 
 
 
 

 

Just a little this and that

These boys are feeling soo much better than last week! Last week was rough! They both got a nasty virus that had them soo sick for days!

But we are all over it! 

One doctor told us to try Elderberry syrup. So that's our new go to syrup when we catch a cold. 

The boys had sprint day at school. Little K wore Blue Jays and baby M worse pj's 

Baby M is growing up so fast! Second children waste no time huh! 

He learns so fast and copies big bro, he wants to be just like him. 

He runs to the piano as soon as he sees his brother going to practice. We know he will love piano lessons when it's his turn. Little K is doing really well with his lessons as well. Next week he needs to perform a song for us :) can't wait! 

Baby M has the cutest little personality. He's happy and active and strong willed. He knows how to use the word NO perfectly and it always makes us laugh. 

He wants to do everything on his own! 

He is telling us that he wants to potty train. He goes into the washroom, pretends to use the toilet, flushes the toilet, washes his hands and turns off the light. Many times a day! Ha! 

He is the youngest at daycare and he walks in like he owns the place. 

He follows the routine to a teee! 

Walking in, getting his shoes, feeding the fish. His teachers say that he's the naptme leader, pressing the play button to play lullabys for nap time then he runs over to his cot to sleep. 

When I pick him up, he runs soo fast right in my arms with the biggest smile! That always makes my day. Then he runs over to change his shoes and gets his coat. He even places his shoes exactly where they need to be.

Who is this baby! 

They grow up fast! I don't want to forget a thing!!
Love these kiddos soo much.

Yay to the weekend! So much fun planned this weekend. :) 

Have a great weekend friends! 

 

 
 
 

 
 
 

Antique Piano adventure

A couple of weeks ago a friend sent me a message about a piano their parents were selling. We weren't in the market for a new piano, but thought sure, an antique piano would be great! 

We didn't put much thought into it... I rented a truck, my husband called my brother inlaw and the 3 of us went to pick up this piano.. ha!  On our way there I began looking at YouTube videos about moving a piano :/ something I should have did during the week, not on the way there. I was even going to bring the kids! Good thing I dropped them off to my sister last minute! 

I'll get back to that in a bit - it was an old childhood friends. We lived next door to each other about 25 years ago. It was so nice seeing them and catching up. Such lovely, welcoming people. They were happy the piano was going to someone they knew. We were happy they thought of us.

Ok back to the piano adventure. Ugh it was heavy. I should have hired a piano mover... but I had 2 strong guys haha 

It was tough getting it in the truck, a lot of, try this, no try that, how about this.. you get it.. ha!.. that was part one. Then part 2... getting it in our house. We had to back up over the grass, yikes. 

The guys built a ramp. Nice and sturdy. 

Good thing we had 2 little trolly things (no idea what they are called) it helped roll that heavy piano! 

These guys can be professional piano movers now! They were awesome! 

 

Our piano teacher loved it, when he saw it yesterday. We need to get it tuned but it's a great piece. I love this way it looks in my hallway. 

 I'm thinking a big clock over top of it.

We have some big art already in the area

So I think a clock would add something different.

 

 That evening we couldn't stop talking about the piano adventure. It took us all afternoon. It was fun and a story we will never forget. I can't wait for little K to begin playing on it! 

 
 
 

I still need to research a little more on the piano. It's old! I'm sure it has some history! 

 
 
 
 

Happy Daddy's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! This weekend we celebrated my husband! Both kids Adore their daddy!

So we all joined in the fun weekend of what daddy loves! Which is soccer ha! We watched a lot of soccer, played soccer in the backyard. Went to watch a soccer game and watched daddy play soccer with his team. 

First thing Saturday morning Zoe had a grooming appt ha! So we asked little k what he would like to do. He was talking about sushi for days and also asking us to buy honey.  He loves the natural raw honey. So we did both those things. 

Then we got ready to head downtown for the soccer game ! 

I carried baby M in the Bjorne and let me tell you, my legs are so sore from all the walking we did! 

We played some games. Ha! Daddy got dragged in to play with the kids. 

Moment of silence for Orlando <3

This little had candy, popcorn, peanuts and icecream. Soo good! Ha! 

The kids had a blast! It was such a fun event. 

This morning we were up early and went to watch daddy play soccer! 

It was a hot day today! 

We then headed up north for a nice drive 

Happy daddy's day to my loving husband. We love you Sooo much! 

Oh! How can I forget! I had little k answer these questions. Boy did we have a laugh!
